SEEN ON FACEBOOK:

A governor whose medical school yearbook photo is him wearing a Klan hood has *cages* put up several hundred feet from a Virginia civil rights monument ON Martin Luther King Jr Day to contain citizens trying to exercise their freedoms of speech and assembly…

And the liberal masses still support him.

You can’t make this up.

They’ve never minded cages . . . for their opposition.

PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT, BUT PAUL EHRLICH’S WORK WAS ACTUALLY A LONG-RANGE PSYWAR ATTACK DESIGNED TO BLOCK CHINESE DOMINANCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY: China’s Birthrate Hits Historic Low, in Looming Crisis for Beijing. “It’s a society where nobody wants to get married and people can’t afford to have children.”

There was some collateral damage, as far too many Americans were dumb enough to believe Ehrlich’s work, but that just made it more persuasive to the Chinese. And still less damaging than a global thermonuclear war would have been. A rare 21st Century win for the CIA . . . .

I HOPE THIS FIZZLES, BUT WHO KNOWS: China reports new virus cases, raising concern globally before key holiday. “China reported four more cases of pneumonia believed to be caused by a new coronavirus strain, causing rising concern globally that a disease health officials do not yet fully understand could spread during a key holiday period. . . . Though experts say the new virus does not appear to be as lethal as SARS, there is little known about its origins and how easily it can spread. Thailand and Japan have confirmed new cases of the virus earlier this week, stoking worries globally as many of the 1.4 billion Chinese people will travel abroad during the Lunar New Year holidays that begin next week.”

WHY THE LEFT KEEPS LOSING:

In these pages in October I suggested that British politics had reached a Hobbesian moment. Voters demanded a government, not anarchy presided over by a gibbering rabble. The clean-out in the Commons followed from this imperative. The single most important lesson of the previous three and more years is the abject incompetence of Britain’s centrist political class. Their comical despair today comes from their inability to grasp the part they played in the debacle that has engulfed them.

Sounds familiar.

HEH:

Congratulations, you’ve just invented the vaccine.

HERE’S AN AGENCY THAT COULD USE A THOROUGH RE-STRUCTURING:  The Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) was supposed to ensure that federal contractors do not discriminate.  Alas, in the Orwellian world we live in, it instead ensures that they do.
